Stepping on the muddy path under your feet, Todd is in front and Rachel is behind. While the former is holding the latter's hand, he pushes away the clumps of branches and shrubs in front of him.

The dark gray mist, like smoke and dust with life, enveloped every pore of the two visitors.

There was a strange cry in the sky, a bit like a bird or a beast.

Todd glanced back at him, and the only thing he could see was Rachel's hand.

If it weren't for the uneven land under his feet, reminding him that the journey was still continuing, he might have an illusion of strayed into nothingness.

Just when Todd wondered if there was an end to the road, his right hand suddenly bumped into something hard.

After groping in the fog, the two revealed a huge stone statue, sculpted a goddess wearing a crown of thorns.

Below the stone statue, there is a stone tablet with intricate writings.

"Where do I seem to have seen these words?" Todd knelt down, looked at the stele carefully, and said while thinking hard.

Rachel rubbed the relief with his hand and replied, "These are Luen characters."

"Lun text, the text rumored to be created by Odin, the king of the Nordic gods?" Todd recalled the slabs in the North Island ruins, and asked Rachel: "Can you read the text on the slabs? ?"

"The Luen script has different versions in Beidao and the barbarians, and the grammar and wording of these glyphs seem to be older, so I can only understand some of them." Rachel touched it word by word , Intermittently uttered some words: "Road... Creator... Will... Trial... Eternal sleep..."

Todd frowned after hearing Rachel's introduction, and asked a little uncertainly: "It doesn't sound like a good thing."

"It is rumored that the Kingdom of Shadows is the home of the dead. This is originally an ominous place." Rachel turned his head, looked at the road behind the stone statue, and asked, "What should I do? Do you want to continue to move forward?"

Todd shrugged with a smile: "I've already come here, naturally there is no reason to look back."

After bypassing the stone statue, the two walked on a path paved with bluestone, and the mist around them gradually began to dissipate.

Looking at the slowly clear scenery around him, Todd said: "Here...like a garden."

Rachel looked at the plants around him, and said strangely: "I have never seen the plants here..."

Just as Todd wanted to say something, the ground suddenly began to shake, and the surrounding plants twisted their branches and began to grow wildly.

The road when they came was blocked by thorns, and the green vines were like tentacles wrapped around the ankles of the two.

"Run!"

Todd took Rachel's hand and ran forward desperately.

One after another, the spear stabbing through the bones broke out of the ground, pointed diagonally to the sky, and blocked the light from the top of the head, forming a sky of dead corpses.

Using the mutated right paw to break through the bone wall blocking the way, Todd ran forward a few steps, and suddenly the resistance from his arm was getting bigger and bigger.

Turning his head and looking backward, Rachel was already wrapped in the vines, and the spikes pierced her body. The blood was sucked into the stem, and the color of the flowers gradually changed from white to bright red.

There was no sound from the woman's mouth, only the panicked eyes were facing Todd's face.

The latter turned around and roared, full of powers, and desperately tore the roots of the plant, but the vines became more and more tight. Some even followed Rachel's arm and crawled towards Todd.

Seeing the pain and eagerness of the man in front of him, Rachel, who was completely entangled in plants, smiled. She lightly used her index finger to draw a circle on Todd's palm, then let go of the opponent's hand, still being dragged into the ground by the vines.

Todd sat down on the ground, staring blankly at his empty left hand, his face pale and his lips trembling.

"Do not!!"

Todd was completely in madness. He stretched out his hands and desperately digged into the ground where the woman had sunk, unaware of the vines and tree roots covering his body.

The ground gradually cracked, Todd's consciousness gradually dissipated, and his body was buried in mud.

Walking in the endless darkness, Todd looked at the flashing pictures and sounds before him.

In the coffee shop on the commercial street, a woman in a white dress said to the man in front of him: “I will get married next month. Don’t worry, the groom is not you. My father gave you a chance, but you He just clung to that ridiculous academic morality."

At the class reunion in a five-star hotel, a wealthy businessman in gold and silver looked at the plainly dressed classmate in front of him. He shook his head and said, "I've been an associate professor in the university. Why is he still so shabby in his outfit? Old man. Brother, listen to my heartfelt words, what is the most important thing in this world? Money! Power! And fame!"

Under the neon lights at night, at a table at a roadside barbecue food stall, an elderly professor drank a glass of white wine and said to his students: "How long can a person live? At most a hundred years. I don't believe in Christ," I don’t believe in Buddha either, I believe in my own heart!"

If you live to pursue something meaningless, why not turn around and leave at the beginning and give up the journey?

The meaning of life is much more than that...

Todd calmed down slowly, a gentle breeze brushed across his cheeks, and a familiar whisper came into his ears. When he opened his eyes again, he found that he was lying flat on the ground in the garden. The corpses, strange vines, and blood vines were all gone, and Rachel was sleeping peacefully in front of him.

Shaking his groggy head, Todd couldn't figure out exactly what happened.

Everything just now was an illusion...?

Climbing from the ground to Rachel's side, Todd inspected the woman, and after confirming that the other person was intact, he let out a long sigh of relief.

"Wake up, wake up!" Todd shook Rachel gently, who opened his eyes in a daze.

"Where am I?" Lying in Todd's arms, Rachel looked at the surrounding scenes and whispered: "I was dragged into the ground by the vine."

Todd looked at the flowers on the branches that were swaying slightly in the wind, and if he realized: "Everything we see may be related to these flowers, it may be pollen...In short, we must leave here now!"

The two helped each other and quickly left this strange place.

Walking on the bluestone path, the fog in the air is getting lighter and lighter, hidden in the forest and mountains in the distance, and a majestic temple slowly appears in the field of vision.

Looking back at the garden of Shi Cai with lingering fears, Todd said to Rachel: "I understand the words on the stele a little bit... The illusion just now seems to draw the memory in the heart. If you are not determined, it is very likely. Just sleep in the flowers like that."

Rachel's face was still a little gloomy. She grabbed Todd's arm and shook her head and said, "There, I saw the nightmare I least want to see. If possible, we should probably talk about other topics."

Todd nodded lightly, using the eagle eye's power, looked far towards the mountain of the temple, and saw the second stone statue of the goddess.

The two quickened their pace and spent ten minutes walking in front of the stone statue.

This stone statue sculpts a goddess holding a spear and a round shield, and tramples a lion-headed and scorpion-tailed beast under his feet.

Rachel tried to decipher the text again.

"The way... the guidance... the power... the trial... the dark gate"

Todd felt the bridge of his nose and speculated: "The text on the stone tablet just now says will. This time there is power, does it mean that a battle is needed this time?"

Passing around the stone statue and passing through a long underground corridor, the two of them walked into a building similar to the ancient Roman arena. The venue was about the size of a football field. Standing at the entrance and looking towards the other side, they couldn't see it. side.

Walking forward for a certain distance, broken weapons and shattered shields can be seen everywhere on the ground, as well as scattered human bones and beasts.

"For those who have come from afar, congratulations for passing the test of will."

A cold female voice echoed in the broad arena.

Todd followed the voice and looked at a woman with a mask on her face, wearing a robe made of crow feathers, standing on the high viewing platform, looking down below.

"Originally, the next power trial should be carried out, but your trial object seems to have just been killed by another person." The crow feather girl looked at the distant sky: "I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while..."

"It's not necessary. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"

An old voice came from the other side of the arena.

The rickety old man, with a young girl, stepped on the bones under his feet, and slowly walked towards Todd.

Sabrina smiled and threw what was in her hands to Todd and Rachel.

A **** lion head, half a meter long, rolled to the feet of the two.

Seeing the old man lift off the hood of the cloak, Todd's eyes widened, and he shouted in surprise: "Clarence?!"
